Welcome inside

Machaba Camp

Machaba Camp is an iconic 1950s style safari camp replete with luxury tented rooms containing en-suite bedrooms with modern bathrooms, patio deck and relaxation area, and romantic outdoor showers. The tents are positioned alongside the picturesque Khwai River to optimise privacy and views of the animals coming to the river's edge to drink, and are linked by a pathway that meanders between large riverine trees.

Outdoor Shower

Shower outdoors

In addition to an inside shower, each unit has an open-air shower with hot and cold running water. Completely private from the casual passerby only the African sun or stars can see you as you rinse off the day’s adventures.

Our room design philosophy

A pleasing balance between style, comfort and environment

We design each room to maximise privacy and optimise views of the land and we take our decor inspiration from a traditional African safari in terms of the fabrics, texture and hues that we use. We pair this feeling of opulence with consideration for the environment, which is why we don’t have any permanent structural fixtures and rely on solar energy, forgoing energy-heavy appliances such as shavers, air-conditioning and hairdryers.

  • Electric lights, fans and charging stations
  • International 240v plug points

Testimonials

Machaba Camp

Staying in a luxury safari tent

Staying in a safari tent immerses you into the wilds without compromising on the comfort and safety of a luxury room. Your ears will tune into the light rustlings of leaves or the distant roar of the mighty king of the veld. The wind gently catches and snaps the canvas and the air is alive with scented bushveld air. Being this close to nature evokes feelings of oneness and belonging. Africa is the birthplace of humankind, and a visit to Machaba Safaris feels like coming home.
